Vascular endothelial surface-related activities may depend on the lateral mobility of specific cell surface macromolecules. Previous studies have shown that cytokines induce changes in the morphology and surface antigen composition of vascular endothelial cells in vitro and at sites of immune and inflammatory reactions in vivo. The effects of cytokines on membrane dynamic properties have not be...

OBJECTIVE To test the efficacy of 2 programs designed to reduce high-risk behaviors among inner-city African American youth. DESIGN Cluster randomized trial. SETTING Twelve metropolitan Chicago, Ill, schools and the communities they serve, 1994 through 1998. PARTICIPANTS Students in grades 5 through 8 and their parents and teachers. INTERVENTIONS The social development curriculum (SDC) ...

Rapid and reliable flood information is crucial for minimizing post-event catastrophes in the complex river basins of world. The Chenab River basin one world, facing adverse hydrometeorological conditions with unpredictable hydrologic response. Resultantly, many vicinities along undergo destructive inundation, resulting huge life economic losses. In this study, Hydrologic Engineering Centre–Hyd...

ATLAS has chosen for its Hadronic End-Cap Calorimeter (HEC) the copper-liquid argon sampling technique with flat plate geometry and GaAs pre-amplifiers in the argon. The contruction of the calorimeter is now approaching completion. Results of production quality checks are reported and their anticipated impact on calorimeter performance discussed. Selected results, such as linearity, electron an...

Human monocyte-derived interleukin 1 (IL-1) was found to be a potent inducer of procoagulant activity in cultured human vascular endothelium. IL-1-induced human umbilical vein endothelial cell procoagulant activity (HEC-PCA) was transiently expressed, manifest in intact cell monolayers, and required protein synthesis. Data obtained with coagulation factor-deficient plasma and a goat anti-human ...

The aim of our computational modeling is twofold. First, we seek to understand the relative contribution of cell proliferation, fate transition and respecification in mediating the pCLV3:HEC1-GR phenotype. We use the model to check which hypothetical scenarios are compatible with our experimental observations. Second, we aim to get insights into the hec1,2,3 phenotype which admits only limited ...

We present crowdsourced collection of error annotations for transcriptions of spoken learner English. Our emphasis in data collection is on fluency corrections, a more complete correction than has traditionally been aimed for in grammatical error correction research (GEC). Fluency corrections require improvements to the text, taking discourse and utterance level semantics into account: the resu...
